| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Cold low temperatures persisted across much of southeast Arizona for several nights. One fatality was attributed to the very cold temperatures. Most of the damage consisted of broken water pipes. However the extent of damage was less than in February of 2011 because daytime temperatures recovered into the 40s and 50s during most days. Also, many of the pipes that were damaged during the 2011 freeze were fortified against cold temperatures and were not damaged again this time. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Low temperatures in the teens or lower 20s for several nights caused numerous pipes to burst in the Tucson metropolitan area. The Tucson International Airport dropped to 15 degrees on the morning of January 15th. Most of the frozen pipes exposed to the cold were on the roofs or sides of homes. Also, citrus fruits were damaged by the hard freeze, which meant that local food banks could not glean unpicked fruit to supplement their food donations. Total damage was estimated at $100,000. Additionally, two house fires were indirectly related to the cold weather. A mobile home caught fire when the owner attempted to thaw frozen pipes with a propane torch. Another home caught fire after residents placed a heat lamp and blankets on a patio overnight to keep pets warm. No one was injured in either fire. |
